rainy day brisket

pensrock · September 22, 2009, 06:51:13 AM

Followed UIS lead with the rainy day thing. :)

Finally got a brisket and today is a great day to do it. Not a lot of fat on it so I drizzeled with EVOO, garlic salt and black pepper.
Going to smoke with hickory for 3 hours then continue till done. Preheated the tower to 250 F, as soon as I load it, I will drop temp to 210 F.

Back with more as it progresses.

Well it went into the smoker at 10 am, so it will be done late tonight. Probably will have it for tomorrow. That give you plenty of time to get here. :)

Haven't done a brisket yet. Been kinda poor choices at the store. Maybe soon. I will be watching.

Some update pictures, click to enlarge:

After an hour or so of smoke @210 F.

After three hours smoke and another three hours at 210 F. (Total six hours)

After six hours, boated ready to cover with foil and continue to cook.

When I enlarged your picture, I noticed a smaller screen on the rack. What's the purpose in having that?

He's gonna cook it so tender that he didn't want it to fall thru the bradley rack.
Actually it looks like a non-stick screen, easier clean up?
Not a Bad idea.

Pens,
don't you just love it when a rainy day comes together?
the brisket looks awesome!
Those screens are High temp screens from yard and pool!
and yes they make clean up a lot easier as well as making food easier to remove from the racks.
makes for great jerky smokin' and the jerky pops right off.
these should definitely be on your list of accessories!!!
i have one set for the Bradley and am saving for a set for the cabela's 80L.

Looking good, now the special time to do its magic.

Your making me hungry

pensrock · September 22, 2009, 04:52:30 PM

Yep, they are hi temp screens. clean up is much easier and I also use them for things like pistachios and peanuts, the smaller holes work great. You can get them from Bryan at Y&P.

Well its 7:30 pm and it done. Will slice and reheat tomorrow, then vac pac in portions for later on. Total time was around 9 hours, three hours of smoke. Temp was at 210 degrees F. IT was near 195, I meant to pull it out around 185 but forgot. Man getting old bites, LOL. Actually I thought it would take longer and just probed it at 195. UIS: Rainy day smoking, a great way to be productive on a bad day. WTS: I used hickory on this one but I think you would still be able to eat a slice or two. :) Hawkeye: yea I do not know why its so difficult to find a brisket around here, and the prices are pretty high.

Done better than not slicing. Did not even sneak a taste. Actually, I'm stuffed from dinner. :)
